Revisiting Ho Chi Minh - Vietnam



Back to the land of motorcyclists, dangling cables, and of course Poh and Rolls..

Spent an extended weekend during the Nuzul Quran holidays at Saigon aka Ho Chi Minh city.

When we checked in at LCCT, we were asked to queue at this counter for HCM flight



And all the while my teachers & Geography book said HCM - Saigon is in Vietnam



whatever lah...so long as I know I am arriving HCM

Left @ 12noon and arrived @ 1330hrs

Going thru immigration was smooth, we did not had to fill in the embarkation card..so the smart-chip did come in handy in.

Like the locals, we took the Bus No: 152 to town. Fare was VND4,000/pax and and per luggage. Total transportation cost , including our one piece luggage = VND12,000 = RM2.00. 




Interior - airconditioned



With a map in the hand, we managed to find our abode :-
